Relocating With Your Family? 4 Tips For Military Personnel To Make The Move Easier

Having to relocate your family is something that anyone who has ever had to go through a permanent change of station will have encountered. This is not easy, and it takes some planning and strategic thinking, but as a member of the military, those two skills likely come naturally. If you are relocating your family, below are 4 tips to help make the move easier on everyone involved:

Consider self storage

If your family lives in your current place of residence, and you know that you will most likely return to this home, consider investing in a self-storage unit so that you don't have to worry that you've sold or donated something that might end up being useful to you in the future.

Drive-up storage

If you are going to be using a self-storage unit while you’re away, especially for larger items, consider opting for a storage facility that offers a drive up option. This will make it much easier to move and unload items into the unit.

Label everything

For the things that you are taking with you, the best advice that you can get would be to label everything you are taking. This is especially true because you are probably not only going to be moving somewhere new – you are going to be diving right into your new life with very little time to adjust. You want the unpacking process to be as painless as possible, so label everything.

Declutter

One of the best things you can do before your move is to figure out what you and your family really need to take with you, and what can be sold, donated, or recycled. The move is going to be stressful on everyone, especially if you are downsizing. The best thing you can do to reduce your stress level once you are settled into your new home is to ensure that it is not cluttered or disorganized.

Moving as a military person is often par for the course and something that you, and often your family, is going to deal with. If you are anticipating a move and would like a head-start, keep the above moving tips in mind to ensure a seamless process for you and your family.
